The Many-colored Chaco-Finch is a small, attractive songbird native to the dry Chaco region of central South America. It is characterized by a distinctive facial pattern with a black crown and eye-stripe, white supercilium, and olive-brown back, living up to its 'many-colored' name.
Where to spot
Found in the dry Chaco region of central South America, including northern Argentina, Paraguay, southern Bolivia, and southwestern Brazil. Inhabits arid scrublands, open woodlands, and thorny brush.
How to spot
Look for its unique facial pattern and varied plumage colors. It is often found foraging on the ground or in low bushes, so scan the undergrowth. Listen for its simple, somewhat melancholic song, a series of whistled notes.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the dry season (winter in the Southern Hemisphere) when vegetation is sparser, and during early morning or late afternoon.
